Chameleon Lime Whoopiepie joins host Raina Douris

Orange-haired Chi is the dynamic leader of the hip-hop inspired group Chameleon Lime Whoopiepie. On the World Cafe, Chi looks back on her early days performing on the streets of Tokyo and sort of shares how she came together with her two costumed collaborators. Plus, a live performance you will want to get up and dance to – as World Cafe continues their visit to Japan.

Listen to the session here.
